C R  HONI SOIT QVI MAL Y PENSE DIEV ET MON DROIT  ¶ By the King. 
¶ A Declaration of His Majesty's clear intention, in requiring the Aid of His loving Subjects, in that way of Loane which is now intended by His Highness.  
WHen, with the Advice of Our Privy Counsel, We had resolved, for the necessary defence of Our Honour, Our Religion, and Kingdoms, to require the Aid of Our loving Subjects in that way of Loane, for the effecting whereof, Our Commissions are speedily to go out into the several Counties & Cities of this Our Realm; We have thought it fit, to publish and declare unto all Our loving Subjects, what Our clear intention and Royal purpose is thereby, That, what ever the occasions are, for the public cause both of Religion and State, and how great soever, for the common defence, (which are obvious to every man) and no other possible and present course being to be taken, nor this to be avoided, if We as a King shall maintain the cause and party of Religion, preserve Our own Honour, defend Our people, secure Our Kingdoms, and support Our Allies, all which We are tied to do by that bond Sovereignty, which under God We bear ever you: Nevertheless, We are resolved, and do so declare and publish to all Our loving Subjects Our clear intention to be, That this course, which at this time is thus enforced upon us by that necessity, to which no ordinary course can give the Law, shall not in any wise be drawn into example, nor made a Precedent for after times.  
And because We already hear, that some malevolous persons, who under pretence of common liberty, factiously intent nothing but the ruin both of Religion and State, and by delay of present remedy make way to foreign practices, give out, and scatter their speeches (amongst others) that if this way of raising Money take place, than no Parliament shall be called hereafter, and that this course may be taken every year, upon pretence of necessity and lack of Money; We do hereby publish and proclaim, That, as We will not suffer any such speeches or practices to go unpunished, So likewise, that the suddenness and importance of the occasions are such, as cannot possible admit Us so long time, as the Summoning, Assembling, and Resolution of a Parliament will necessarily require; And that it is farce from Our heart, to make any such use of the love of Our people, or to make this any annual or usual course of raising Moneys, But that We are fully purposed to call a Parliament, so soon as conveniently We may, and as often as the Commonwealth and State-occasions shall require it; And that by Our people's affections now showed unto Us in this way of necessity, they shall the sooner invite Us to the frequent use of Parliaments, being confident in the hearts of Our people.  
Given at Our Court at White-Hall the seventh day of October, in the second year of Our Reign of Great Britain, France, and Ireland. 
 God save the King.
